The Henri-Martin promenade is a public road. It is located in the Capitole district. It begins as an extension of the François-Gauzy promenade, which follows the bank of the Garonne at the bottom of the quai de Tounis, precisely under the first arch of the Pont-Neuf. It runs along the course of the river and successively meets the port of La Daurade and the square of the same name, then the port Saint-Pierre and the square of the same name. It ends at the level of the first arch of the Saint-Pierre bridge. It belongs to a pedestrian area. There is no cycling facility. The Henri-Martin promenade is crossed by the long-distance hiking trail 86 (GR 86), which goes from Toulouse to Bagnères-de-Luchon, and by the long-distance hiking trail 861 (GR 861), which goes from Toulouse to Saint-Bertrand-de-Comminges. They are extended to the northeast by the streets Jean-Suau and Léon-Gambetta to the place du Capitole, where they originate, and to the southeast, by the François-Gauzy promenade to join the quai de Tounis at the level of the place Maître-Jean-Maubec.

This beautiful 14th-century Gothic church was listed as a historic monument in 1926. The grain hall located directly opposite further enhances the town's central square.

Connecting Portet-sur-Garonne and Pinsaguel, this bridge allows you to cross the river safely thanks to the cycle paths and pedestrian walkways built in 2016 on each side of the road. The views are delightful. Note that routes such as the Véloroute de la vallée de la Garonne or the GR 861 pass through here.

This church dedicated to Saint Stephen was built between the 15th century and the very beginning of the 16th century. It has a remarkable interior decoration, recently restored, donated in the 18th century by an aesthetic priest, Abbé Latour de Lordat, who died at the age of 28 and is buried under the porch.
